Students & Young Professionals

Student and Young Professional Events!

The 2026 RMS AAPG conference offers a specific programming stream designed to support the next generation of geoscientists, starting with a Student & Young Professional Meet-and-Greet on the opening night.

The Rocky Mountain Rendezvous (RMR) Recruiting and Networking Event on the last day of the conference connects students and early-career professionals with participating employers. The event emphasizes first contact and relationship-building, giving attendees an opportunity to learn about companies, career paths, internships, and potential employment opportunities.

A companion Student & Young Professional Mentoring Roundtables event is designed to connect Student & Young Professionals with professionals from different sectors through small-group roundtable discussions. 

Specifically for undergraduate and first year graduate students we offer a scientific writing workshop that is designed to help students get started to turn their research ideas into a manuscript.

Students can further enhance their 2026 RMS AAPG experience by volunteering at the conference. Contribute a minimum of 4 hours of your time and receive a $50 reimbursement of your conference fees—a great way to get involved, build connections, and save money.

Contact our Student & Young Professionals Events Chair Chioma Onwumelu (onwumeluchioma@gmail.com) with any questions regarding these events.
